Sil Hamilton

I’m a PhD student working with David Mimno and Matthew Wilkens at Cornell University in the Culture and Computation Lab. I'm also an AI Research Scientist at Epiq AI Labs.

I look for where humans and language models disagree on the world. My published research draws on narrative theory to show how LLMs (fail to) capture cultural concepts in areas like jurisprudence, journalism, and storytelling. This helps us improve them.

I've consulted for news organizations like NYT and AP on language models. I've also given talks at the Nieman Foundation, Harvard's CS50, and the Computer History Museum.
